subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Zhu Wen and the others filled their stomachs quickly, rested overnight in Cao Shixiong's camp, and bid farewell to Li Jun the next day.

Li Jun tried to persuade him to stay, but Zhu Wen said: "Qian Liu's problem has been solved, and it's only a matter of time before General Cao takes down Yuhang. I also want to go to the battlefield of Qiantang to meet Huang Wang, who is dispatched by the Marquis. Otherwise, I will be dealt with by military law." Only then did he agree to let him go, and took Cao Shixiong to apologize to Zhu Wen and others for what happened yesterday.

Zhu Wen and others rushed to Qiantang with thousands of men and horses. When they arrived at Qiantang, Monk Meng Kai had already broken through the west gate of Qiantang City, and tens of thousands of troops were rushing towards the city.

At this time, the ancient city of Qiantang was not as prosperous as it was in the Song Dynasty, but it was also a well-known and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.

The rebel army had enough food and supplies, and won another big victory, and their morale was obviously much higher than in Runzhou.

Zhu Wen watched the brigade of rebels rush into the warehouse of the state capital, carrying and counting the gold, silver, cloth, grain and various items in the official warehouse with great enthusiasm.He didn't get involved. Monk Meng Kai asked someone to take charge, and Zhu Wen was relatively free.

Zhu Wen suddenly wanted to see what the West Lake was like at this time. He took Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu to visit the West Lake, but he didn't know how to do it.Zhu Wen went to the street and asked a local citizen, "My old man, how can I get to West Lake?"

The woman, who was about forty years old, saw Zhu Wen in military uniform and was trembling with fright. After seeing Zhu Wen politely asking for directions, she finally settled down and said, "West Lake? I haven't heard of it." Well, there is a big lake in the west of the city, but it is called Qiantang Lake, it used to be called Wulin Water, there is no West Lake."

After Zhu Wen thanked him, he took Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu, and the three rode straight to the west of the city.

In a short time, we arrived at the edge of the West Lake. It was midsummer at this time, and the lotus flowers all over the lake were competing to bloom. The breeze blew in the face, and the faint fragrance of lotus flowers wafted into the nose, making people refreshed.

Zhu Wen thought, no wonder Bai Juyi wrote in his poems, "Singing seats are laid under the shade of green vines, and prostitute boats are moored among red lotus flowers. Everywhere I look back is full of love, and the most difficult place is the lakeside." Bai Juyi served as the governor of Hangzhou for two years. It actually made him never forget Hangzhou all his life, especially the West Lake.

At this time, the West Lake in Zhu Wen's eyes was obviously much bigger than the West Lake in the 21st century, but the surrounding area seemed a little desolate.There are no buildings of all kinds around, but there are scattered houses and brothels in twos and threes, but at this time, they are all empty.

In this war-torn era, the beautiful scenery has become a painting cake, who has the leisure time to pay attention?The vast majority of people are working hard to survive, and when even survival is a problem, everything else seems relatively secondary.

Zhu Wen and the other three walked on the Bai Causeway, admiring the scenery of West Lake and breathing the fresh air.The weeping willows on both sides are swaying, forming mottled shadows on the ground under the sunlight.

The three of them strolled around the West Lake casually, as it was getting late, Zhu Wen wanted to spend the night nearby, and continue to visit the scenery of the West Lake tomorrow.But at this time, the mountains around the West Lake were not full of Taoist temples and temples like in the later generations, and most of the people nearby went to the city to seek refuge, or went to other places. Where can I find a trace of a person?

Zhu Wen suddenly thought that there was a place where Ge Hong, the Dixian of the Jin Dynasty, made alchemy on the Ge Ridge in the north of Baoshi Mountain. In the Tang Dynasty, a famous Baopu Taoist Temple was built to commemorate Ge Hong. Zhu Wen wanted to visit Ge Hong on the Ge Ridge. The alchemy platform and other relics, by the way, stay overnight in the Taoist temple.

After crossing the Broken Bridge and going ashore, you will arrive at Baoshi Mountain. At this time, it is at sunset. At this time, the Uncle Bao Pagoda on Baoshi Mountain had not yet been built, but the scenery of Baoshi Mountain still made people linger and forget to return.

It wasn't until sunset on the western mountain that Zhu Wen reluctantly went to Baopu Taoist Temple on the hillside of Geling.

Just when the Taoist temple was already swaying in sight, Zhu Wen heard a few clear sounds of metal and iron clanging from the Taoist temple, and occasionally a few women's coquettish shouts, which sounded like Huang Ying's voice, as if It was Huang Ying who was fighting with people in the monastery.

Zhu Wen's face changed, why is she here?Before he could think about it, he quickened his pace and went straight to Baopu Taoist Temple.

After all, Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu are not as good as Zhu Wen who has practiced profound Taoist internal skills, and they can clearly hear the situation in the Taoist temple from such a long distance.Seeing Zhu Wen quicken his pace, the two knew that it must be because of him, so they hurriedly followed closely.

After a while, Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu also heard the voices in the monastery clearly, and their faces changed drastically.Especially Xu Huaiyu, he respected Zhu Wen the most, and the relationship between Huang Ying and Zhu Wen was almost an open secret among the rebels. Xu Huaiyu had long regarded Huang Ying as Zhu Wen's wife.Some people dare to fight the mistress, so what's the matter?

In an instant, the three of them arrived at the gate of the Taoist monastery, Xu Huaiyu didn't care about 21, and the concept of a Taoist holy place was like shit in his heart, he stepped forward and kicked open the gate of the Taoist monastery, and rushed in in a hurry.

Zhu Wen and Zhu Zhen followed closely. Zhu Wen knew Huang Ying's martial arts very well, and when he heard Huang Ying's coquettish shout from a long distance, he knew that she must have met a strong opponent.In detail, Zhu Wen's martial arts were taught by Huang Ying. Huang Ying's Hunyuan Wuji mentality has already reached the fifth level, while Zhu Wen has only just broken through to the fourth level.Therefore, he understood the horror of the enemies Huang Ying met better than anyone else.

To Zhu Wen's surprise, not only Huang Ying was present in the Taoist compound, but Huang Chao's only son, Huang Ding, was also there. Fighting with Huang Ding were five middle-aged Taoist priests, all of whom were strong and strong, with long swords in their hands. Sparkling.

The one who fought Huang Ying was a long-bearded old man, about fifty years old, with a thin and elegant demeanor, but he was a little like Lu Dongbin.When Zhu Wen saw the sword technique used by the old Taoist, it turned out to be Lu Dongbin's Sky Shield sword technique.It seems that this Taoist priest must be someone like Lu Dongbin's disciple.

How did the Huang Ying siblings end up here?How could there be a conflict with the old way?What is the relationship between this old man and Lu Dongbin?A series of questions flashed through Zhu Wen's mind.

Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu couldn't control that much, as soon as they entered the door, they went straight to the old man who was fighting Huang Ying. Zhu Zhen used a single sword, and Xu Huaiyu used a long sword. As soon as the two new forces joined, Huang Ying felt the pressure greatly relieved.The old man was no longer as leisurely as before, and his sword moves were a little loose.

But how can Lu Dongbin's Tianshield swordsmanship be taken lightly?That old Taoist fought three against one, although he was losing ground, he was still able to attack and defend, and his swordsmanship was quite true to Lu Dongbin's.Although the old Taoist was fighting three against one, he couldn't stop looking at Zhu Wen.

When he saw Zhu Wen standing there calmly in military uniform, he was obviously a person with great skills, and he wanted to leave.But this Baopu Taoist monastery is its lair, and it is a bit reluctant to leave, so it is still supporting it hard, hoping that its four disciples can deal with the weak crown boy first and then come to help, so that the battle still has a chance.

Although Huang Ding had acquired the true biography of a famous master since he was a child, he was still young after all, under the attack of the four middle-aged Taoist priests, he could only parry but had no power to fight back.

Seeing Zhu Wen standing there watching the battle, Huang Ying said angrily, "What are you doing standing there, why don't you come up to help?"

Zhu Wen put away the doubts in his heart, responded with a cry, drew out his long sword and attacked the four Taoist priests who were besieging Huang Ding.His sword flashed and pointed at the four of them, making them all feel as if the long sword was attacking them.The four of them gasped, and they were very obedient. This kid was stronger than that boy, so they felt timid in their hearts.

This is what Zhu Wen wanted. When the flickering sword light approached the four of them, the sword light that filled the sky suddenly merged into one, stabbing at one of the middle-aged Taoist priests like a shooting star.

How did the Taoist expect that Zhu Wen would suddenly change his tactics?It was too late to parry, and the long sword passed through his shoulder.

Seeing how powerful Zhu Wen was, the other three Taoist priests became even more timid, and their sword moves became even more scattered.In an instant, he was knocked to the ground by Zhu Wenwen and Huang Ding, and two of them were stabbed to death by Huang Ding on the spot.The other two also fell to the ground and lost their ability to fight.

At this time, the old man finally changed his color, and after a few feints, he wanted to fly back.

Zhu Wen thought in his heart, want to leave?It's not that easy.A sword struck from the oblique stab, blocking the veteran's retreat.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the old Taoist could only grit his teeth and fight hard.

Unexpectedly, Huang Ying, Zhu Wen and others are not idle people, and Xu Huaiyu has a desperate temperament, attacking fiercely, never thinking about himself, and most of them are killed together.This made the veteran who was already unable to do what he wanted even more headache.

Five people, four long swords and a single knife fought around the old Taoist for a stick of incense, but the old Taoist finally couldn't resist, his body was injured in many places, and the gray Taoist robe was covered with blood.

Knowing that there was no hope of surviving, the old Taoist suddenly shouted: "Stop!" Then he threw the long sword on the ground, and it actually penetrated into the hard bluestone slab on the ground, penetrating several inches.
